Chapter No. Muscle Reflex My palms became sweaty as my core body temperature rose. As I looked at him and questioned why these other options had not been considered, his body language spoke volumes; his head sunk forward, his hands were clasped between his knees and he looked down at his feet as his shoulders arched into a closed, protective and submissive stance in his faux leather office chair. I suggested we go to one of the meeting rooms to discuss the issue in detail. The impact of his…
In Fahrenheit 451, Montag goes on a journey that makes him realize how corrupt his futuristic society is. His wife tries to commit suicide and the people who come to care for her are incredibly insensitive. Teenagers murder innocent people for fun. Religion is mocked and used for selfish purposes. The government lies to people and no one just sits around and contemplates life anymore. The era of thinking is over. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury should be challenged or even banned because of its…

Therefore these stages are only general guidelines, not labels for all children of a…

Freud believed that personality developed through a series of childhood stages in which the pleasure-seeking energies of the id become focused on certain erogenous zones. This psychosexual energy – “libido” – was posited as one of the basic primal…
Even before Claussen began pushing his architectural vision, others were busy designing the inner workings of the plant. Jan Knau, an engineer, was only 27 when he was asked to come up with a flexible assembly line for the factory. Knau, then just a junior associate, contacted BMW’s top 15 assembly engineers. He invited them to a two-day workshop at a BMW retreat near the Austrian Alps. After a series of marathon sessions that included discussions of every facet of the ideal assembly line, Knau…
